2026 Players Expected To Have A Breakout Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We love to see guys get their shine on. A lot of players were making a name for themselves last season but didn't quite pop. We are expecting to see the prospects in this article have a very big season. These are the guys who have already been great for their team. Let's check it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='691288' first='Omar' last='Brand'], Calhoun City, WR</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brand is one of the most talented players in this class. He is a guy that has been working very hard on improving his route running. I have been a fan of him since before last season. Brand is going back to Calhoun City this season. He is going to have a lot of chances to make some big plays with this team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='691290' first='Tre' last='Ellis'], Hazlehurst</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are expecting Ellis to come out very strong this season. His coach told us that he will be playing a lot of running back this season. We are very excited to see that. Ellis is going to have a lot of opportunities to make big plays. He is a guy that has some very good size. I expect him to have over 1500 yards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='706445' first='Jack' last='Durr'], Pearl</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We expect Durr to be the man for his squad this season. Durr is a very polished quarterback that has a strong arm. He also is an accurate quarterback. Durr has a quick release that gets the football to his target on time. Durr got a lot of playing time last year as a freshman. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212367' first='Preston' last='Ashley'], DB, Brandon </strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ashley is a cornerback that does a great job. He has a very good background. His dad and two of his uncles played pro ball. Ashley is very skilled. He saw a little playing time last season with their varsity. Ashley also has good speed. A lot of people don't realize how fast he is. Expect him to make a lot of big plays this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
